When Does Hair Fall Out After Laser Epilation?

Many people who have laser epilation expect the hair to fall out immediately, but the process takes some time. Hair loss after laser epilation usually occurs within 7-15 days. However, this period may vary depending on the person, hair structure and the type of laser used.
